Hazelnut brownies and my war against 'diets' 16 Apr 2013 | 04:07 am
This is sort of a rant post. Why? Because I'm really sick of hearing about the newest diet that comes out every other year. The Atkins diet, the pineapple diet, the juice cleansing and the latest and ...
Homemade Longhorns/Turtles and a trip to Texas 8 Apr 2013 | 06:28 am
This post is certainly long long long overdue. But such is the life of a grad student. Over Christmas break I had the pleasure (not kissing ass here) to meet my boyfriend's family. I could try to fin...
Apple pie and a giveaway 13 Dec 2012 | 06:45 am
Contrary to what a lot of people think, apple pie is almost exclusively an American thing. We don't make pies in Spain, I haven't seen them in Italy, England or France. One wonders how we survive at a...
Piñata cake and aging 12 Sep 2012 | 11:39 pm
Next week I'm turning 27. It's a strange feeling. A feeling of comfort. The realization that I'm not anymore in my early 20s and I really like it. I am not the person I used to be a few years ago. And...
Fresh strawberry ice cream 23 Aug 2012 | 12:28 am

Fig newtons (and giveaway) 2 Aug 2012 | 11:54 pm
I'm not quite sure what to tell you about today. I'll tell you that summer is going by too fast but somehow it barely feels like summer. Oregon has rewarded us with a week of warmth, only to have rain...
Baked oatmeal 17 Jul 2012 | 03:30 am
As you can see, my frequency of posting is a variable with no control. As usual, that doesn't mean I'm not baking as much as I possibly can. I recently moved in with my boyfriend, with whom I share th...
Easter egg cupcakes 29 May 2012 | 01:13 pm
This post is remarkably late, as Easter was a while ago. However, these are vanilla cupcakes with chocolate frosting, which are just great for any occasion. Quite moist and delicious. I made these for...
Thin mint copycat, version 2 28 Apr 2012 | 05:39 pm
I did it again. One more year I made my own Thin Mints, instead of buying them from the Girl Scouts. You must think I'm a terrible person. Truth of the matter is, homemade ones taste better. And I thi...
